Paying your rent


When to pay

If your tenancy agreement shows your rent as:

  • A weekly amount – then you should pay your rent weekly – on or before the Monday of each week
  • A monthly amount – then you should pay your rent monthly in advance, on or before the first working day of each month

You can use any of the options below to make your rent payment.

Direct Debit

Paying by Direct Debit is a quick and simple way to pay your rent and other regular payments straight from your bank or building society account. The rent for the whole year is added up and divided into 12 equal parts, which are then automatically collected from your bank account each month.

Answers to some frequently asked questions about Direct Debits can be found at the bottom of this page.

If you’d like to set up a Direct Debit, please phone us on 0800 014 15 45 (Freephone) and ask for the Rent Accounting team and we can do it over the phone. Alternatively, email them on rents@soha.co.uk.
